A square is a quadrilateral with four right angles
and four congruent sides. Since a square is a
parallelogram, a rectangle, and a rhombus it
has the properties of all three.
EX. Determine if the conclusion is valid.
If not, tell what additional information
is needed to make it valid.
Conclusion: EFGH is a square.
Given:

If XW = 13, then WZ = 13,
XZ = 13 root 2 and AZ = 13/2 root 2.
Find x if m<AZW = 3x + 15. 10
Find y if m<ZAY = 9y.10

Squares, the simple shape.
Who likes to do a lot of math to figure out all the different
measurements of shapes? With a square you can know most of the
measurements just by knowing one diagonal and one side length! In a
square all angles are equal so you know that all angles are 90
degrees. Also all sides are equal so you can know all of the side
lengths if one side length is given. Diagonals are angle bisectors.
Diagonals are perpendicular bisectors of each other too. So, the
diagonals form 4 congruent triangles within the square. So you can
know all sorts of measurements of a square with doing little to no
math at all if you are given one side length and or diagonal!
SMART Notebook
Has 2 pairs of parallel sides
All sides are congruent to each other
All angles equal 90 degrees/are congruent
The diagonals create perpendicular bisectors
The diagonals also create angle bisectors
The diagonals form 2 congruent isosceles triangles
Base angles are congruent
